entry1 3/15/07 1 - Reflection on Previous I Search Experiences (due Thur, Mar 15)
1. What are some of the previous research projects you have done?
A few of the projects I remember are the Labyrinth Project this year, and the regonal Sportsman's Paradise research poject in 7th grade.
2. Based on these projects, what does research mean to you?
To me it means searching for information assigned to you.

In 7th grade our regonal Sportsman's Paradise project was a negative because nobody in my group or any other group really understood what we were suposed to do. Maarch 15 Teacher Response
